What makes Copernicus so special compared to other Earth observation programmes worldwide? Philippe Brunet: A complex set of systems which collect data from multiple sources - mainly Earth observation satellites and in sensors. Copernicus processes these data and provides reliable and up-to-date information through a set of services related to environment and security. How does Copernicus fit into the overall EU policy framework? Philippe Brunet: Copernicus will benefit a wide range of Union policies and contribute to reaching the objectives of Europe 202 will support the development of an effective European space policy which provides the tools to address some the key challenges the European Union has to face, in the areas of the environment and civil security. The programme will boost research, innovation and the development of commercial applications ( downstream services ), thanks to a full and open access to Copernicus observation data and information products. ESA: Who will benefit from the programme and how? Philippe Brunet: Main users are European policymakers and national, regional and local public authorities. They need relevant information to develop environmental legislation and policies or to take critical decisions in the event of an emergency, such as a natural disaster or a humanitarian crisis. Applications bringing socio-economic benefits to European citizens include environment protection, managem of urban areas, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, health, transport, climate change, sustainable development, civ protection and tourism. The principle of full, free and open access to data will enable innovative business initiatives of all sizes to flour and therefore will support job creation and economic growth in. Over the next three years, seven Copernicusdedicated satellites, the Sentinels, are planned to be launched. The programme must continue to meet evolvin users needs and expectations.
